from a friend:

"Do you see Ivermectin as a preventative or as a remedy?"

Personally, both.

But, the below is important, Allan:

As stated in my prior email, "The plasma half-life of ivermectin in man is approximately 18 hours following oral administration."


"The elimination 'half-life of a drug' is a pharmacokinetic parameter that is defined as the time it takes for the concentration of the drug in the plasma or the total amount in the body to be reduced by 50%. In other words, after one half-life, the concentration of the drug in the body will be half of the starting dose."

"Generally it is considered that it takes 5.5 half-lifes for a drug to be removed from the body, in that it is considered to no longer have a clinical effect.

Example, Ambien has a plasma half life of 2 hours..
"So for Ambien it would take approximately 11 hours (2 hours X 5.5) to be eliminated from your body.Nov 3, 2020"

Therefore, since Ivermectin has a plasma half life of 18 hours, it would take 99 hours(18 X 5.5)

or 4.1 days to be totally eliminated from your body.

(1) If you are NOT infected, 1 dose every 4 days seems reasonable as a preventative.

(2) If you are infected (see prior email) "Depending on infection severity, ivermectin should be taken in three doses (approximately days 1, 2, and , five doses (approximately days 1, 2, 8, 9, and 15), or seven doses (approximately days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 22, and 29).
